If you have a spare XP license available, why not running a simple
Windows session in VirtualBox? Using a usb-midi thingie wouldn't be much
of a problem for VirtualBox (or any other virtual solution which
supports USB passthrough). That way you can run An1xEdit regardless of
platform.

Not sure though how it would work with other (non usb-)midi interfaces, but most
of them could probably be patched through using various solutions.

Unfortunately my USB Midi interface isn't ready yet
(http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=gm5_expansion_5x5_board)
otherwise I could test it out and tell you whether it works from a Linux
perspective :D
